When I was in the States, I lost my Sprint handset. They replaced it in a day or so. Likewise with my Vodafone handset.

Has blacklisting really done much to stop handset theft in the UK? Didn't stop the little toerag who nicked Ewan's N95, nor does it stop all the handsets stolen in the UK and other Western countries that end up in places where blacklists don't go...
"Nor does it trace where the phone is using GPS." -- does any operator actually do that?

I suspect that my N95 was quickly transported out of the UK into the hands of some non-operator-blacklist country chappy.

No, and you generally need a 3rd party app on the handset to do this too...

An operator can trace where a phone is without using GPS. It looks at the tower with which the phone is registered.
